• Update 1.0.1.8 - 19 August 2026

  I already released this update a few days ago but I broke a few things. Sorry about that. Therefore I released a hotfix today. I expect several things to be still broken because this is a major step forward - which needs to be done to keep CS2D working in future.Please note that unfortunately I can't provide the Linux ARM64 dedicated server right now. The regular Linux 64 bit server is now properly updated though.1.0.1.8 Changes (released Monday) \ NPCs look into the right direction again (broken in 1.0.1.7) \ Copy & paste no longer crashes the Win client \ Editor: Tile size option in new map dialog now works properly \ No longer write "automatically generated" line with date/time in configs \ Improved Ukrainian language (thanks to _Lima_) \ Advanced radar render performance optimizations \ Advanced radar now works on maps of all sizes \ Proper screen border spacing for HUD elements in…

• Update 1.0.1.7 - 8 August 2026

  CS2D 1.01.7 is here. This is a major new release, because the game was finally migrated to BlitzMax NG, which is a newer version of the engine.Highlights are various bug fixes, controller support and the migration to the x64 architecture. Also the Linux dedicated server is now even available for ARM64 on the download page. Furthermore DirectX fullscreen mode is now borderless, which should make tabbing out/in less painful.Thanks for all the support on Discord! \ Lua tween_rotateconstantly did not work at all (broken since 1.0.1.5) \ Lua imageparam "alpha" returned the rotation instead of the alpha value \ Bot Lua: Fixed logic for finding random adjacent tiles (thanks to Hajt) \ Bot Lua: Fixed flaw in "rifles only" mode and refined logic (thanks to Hajt) \ Bot Lua: Fixed "regroup"/"fallback" radio message handling (thanks to Hajt) \ Bot Lua: Various other minor fixes (thank to Hajt) \ Co…

• New U.S.G.N. Master Server - 6 July 2025

  Dear CS2D Community,Are you running your own CS2D server? ːsteamthumbsupː If yes: Please keep reading! Action required! ːsteamthumbsdownː If no: You can safely skip these news.The U.S.G.N. master server had to be moved and now has a new IP. While clients update automatically, CS2D game servers unfortunately do not have this functionality.Therefore every server owner needs to adjust sys/usgn.dat manually. Sorry for the inconvenience!Here are the required steps in detail:1. stop your servers 2. edit sys/usgn.dat (relative path to your cs2d binary unless you are using custom settings) 3. change the first line to 217.154.200.83|usgn.de4. save the changes and restart the server. Be aware that if you don't do these changes, your server(s) will disappear from the list and user U.S.G.N. login won't work!Thank you for your attention and your ongoing support! Have a great day!

• CS2D 1.0.1.4 is here! - 25 July 2024

  After years it's finally time for another update. This is mainly some bugfix stuff. Hopefully it doesn't explode. Horray! Thanks to EngiN33R for contributing a lot of bug fixes (marked with his name). Player rotation network synchronization was much more inaccurate than it should be saying "rank" sometimes did not show proper values for players using Steam and U.S.G.N. logins Players now pick up only as many grenades from the floor as they need to get full ammo (EngiN33R) Render VIP voice communications in CT blue instead of black (EngiN33R) It is no longer possible for terrorists to win after a CT win on assassination maps (EngiN33R) Treat ammoin parameters correctly for grenades when using spawnitem or setammo commands (EngiN33R) Correctly drop key items (flag/bomb) when player disconnects from a dedicated server (EngiN33R) It is no longer possible to include the "registered" symbol i…

• Update v1.0.1.3 - 26 November 2021

  CS2D 1.0.1.3 is now online on Steam and as standalone version! There is a new fancy gun: The tesla coil (thanks to SQ). The only way to get that gun is via custom maps or console commands / scripts. Moreover there are some fixes and Lua API improvements. Changelog FIXED Steam bans were not saved properly FIXED Lua command player("windowed") did not always return the right value FIXED Lua hook "hostagedamage" did not work (was called "hostedamage" internally) FIXED Lua hook "shieldhit" sometimes returned wrong weapon IDs (e.g. for turrets) FIXED Lua hook "hit" returned wrong weapon IDs (e.g. for turrets) when it was friendly fire FIXED Updated network library, possibly fixing some stability issues / vulnerabilities ADDED New weapon: Tesla Coil (ID 92) ADDED Lua UTF-8 support for "menu" command ADDED Lua hook "sayutf8" (text as UTF-8, "hello" = "x68x65x6Cx6Cx6F") ADDED Lua hook "sayteamut…

• CS2D Update 1.0.1.2 - 16 May 2021

  CS2D 1.0.1.2 is now online on Steam and as standalone version! This is just a minor update without new gameplay features. I decided to drop the MacOS support because it means too much trouble to maintain that without having a real MacOS device. Moreover MacOS is now 64 bit only and I would have to try a few things to get that working with CS2D which is still 32 bit. Changes FIXED -pw / -password command line parameter did not work FIXED Lua command io.isdir returned false for all paths ending with "/" or "\" CHANGED "exit" and "disconnect" now do nothing and only show an error message on dedicated servers CHANGED voice chat: changed text *dead* to *DEAD* and *spectator* to *Spectator* ADDED Lua hook "disconnect" (after a player fully disconnected and left the server) ADDED Lua hook "voice" (when player uses voice chat)

• U.S.G.N. Master Server Moved - 15 June 2020

  The U.S.G.N. master server (used for the server list and account login and verification) has been moved to another server. This was a necessary step to ensure best stability and security in future. For Regular CS2D Players (Steam) Your CS2D client will be automatically updated via Steam. For CS2D Server Owners Unfortunately we can't update the config automatically for you. Please follow these steps to adjust your configuration: stop your server/CS2D open sys/usgn.dat (may be in another folder depending on your server config) edit the first line to: 81.169.236.243|usgn.de save the changes to that file restart your server/CS2D Warning: If you don't adjust your config other people may not see your server anymore and can not connect to your server while using an U.S.G.N. account! For Non-Steam CS2D Players Please follow the same steps as server owners to adjust your usgn.dat file. Sorry for…

• Update 1.0.1.1 - 16 December 2019

  CS2D 1.0.1.1 is now online on Steam and as standalone version! This is just a minor bugfix release. Also please note that Smart Lighting 2D a Unity conversion of the light engine used in CS2D is nominated for the Unity Awards 2019! You can support the creator SQ by voting for it here! Changelog Grenades/projectiles on ground were sometimes rendered with wrong grenade type image Some melee weapons (chainsaw, machete, ...) were dropped even with mp_deathdrop 4 Leaderboard window displayed only 99 players instead of 100 XML format support for server info Additional damage paramter for Lua hook "shieldhit" "weaponmode" parameter to Lua player command Command "hudtxtclear" (clears all HUD texts efficiently) Lua hook "hostageuse" (when a hostage is used) Lua hook "hostagedamage" (when a hostage is "damaged" by a player) Lua hook "hostagekill" (when a hostage is killed) Server info request res…

• Update 1.0.1.0 - 6 November 2019

  CS2D update 1.0.1.0 is now online. It fixes some major issues with lag compensation and shot handling in multiplayer games. These fixes should improve the game play a lot for players with high latency (ping > 100). Moreover the Lua scripting API has been extended with some new and improved commands and hooks. Changelog hudtxtalphafade and hudtxtmove did not work with IDs >= 50 animation tweens (tween_animate) were not sent correctly to players joining after creation SG552/Aug invoked Lua reload hook with mode 0 instead of 1 when reloading while using scope Rendering issues with old maps containing the deprecated Info_OldRender entity Lag compensation did not work at all on dedicated servers Network shot handling for shot packets which arrived too quickly wasn't working correctly Lua command addbind is no longer case sensitive (e.g. it now works with "a" and "A") Discord link added to ma…

• CS2D 1.0.0.9 - 7 September 2019

  CS2D v1.0.0.9 is online. This is a maintenance release without fancy new features. Mainly bugfixes and scripting improvements. Changelog FIXED Steam bans were not saved properly & USGN bans were also saved as Steam bans FIXED English map voting localization said "sever" instead of "server" FIXED Starting a server via commandline set the map to "" when no map was specified in arguments FIXED Crash when using Lua "tween_frame" on dedicated servers FIXED Crash when using "killplayer" command with no or bad player ID parameter FIXED Issues when exceeding string length limit of 255 chars in some commands (new limit: 400 chars) FIXED Lua command "tween_rotateconstantly" did not work properly with very low speed values ADDED Lua command "tileproperty" (get the property value for a tile frame in the tileset) ADDED Lua command "tween_animate" (constant frame animation for spritesheet images) ADD…

• CS2D Update 1.0.0.8 - 28 February 2019

  CS2D version 1.0.0.8 is now online! It contains a lot of bugfixes and minor improvements and there's also an experimental* physics mode now which allows you to do fun things: https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31003160%2F11f77b09bb1389d6c3e21ac35acdd344fc5c21cf.gif *) physics mode still has bugs and can potentially even lead to crashes under certain circumstances. Changelog U.S.G.N avatars were not downloaded Tile FX did not work for 64px tilesets MVP and Assists were not saved properly in stats/rank system Mouse spectation disappeared after killcam transition Quake shake effect was too long when having a low frame rate Bullet shells fade out took too long when having a low frame rate Tween duration was capped at 65535 ms for all tweens (cap removed) Some tweens did not work properly when having a huge number of dynamic objects (over 32k) Lua HTTP request s…

• 1 Year On Steam Anniversary - 15 November 2018

  One year ago CS2D 1.0.0.5 has been released on Steam! Let's celebrate this with some numbers! Hooray! Some numbers We rolled out 2 full updates and several patches since Steam release nearly 1 MLLION free CS2D liceneses have been granted on Steam (991,840) 862,870 people downloaded and started (recorded play time) CS2D on Steam 4,931 people reviewed/commented the game on Steam 89% of these reviews are positive (leading to a "very positive" rating) Max peak simultaneous Steam players: 1,440 (Nov 18, first Saturday after release) Simultaneous players on Steam last 2 weeks: min 10, max 109 CS2D does not have any internal tracking so I don't know the overall download numbers. Given that it has several 100k downloads on various download pages (e.g. >500k on Chip.de alone) we can safely assume that the game has been downloaded (and most likely also played) by MILLIONS (plural!) over its lifet…

• CS2D 1.0.0.7 - 7 April 2018

  I'm happy to announce that CS2D 1.0.0.7 has just been released! Note: There was a corrupted update depot for a short time frame. Please restart Steam if you have trouble updating CS2D!

• Downtime and Version 1.0.0.7 Insights - 25 March 2018

  U.S.G.N. Service Downtimes the server provider for the U.S.G.N. master server has scheduled some updates which may lead to reboots and therefore short down times of the master server. The online server list and the U.S.G.N. account login won't be available in this time. Down times will probably just take a few minutes so most of you shouldn't even notice them. You will still be able to play during that time and you won't be kicked from any server because of a U.S.G.N. downtime. Down times may occur within these time frames. All times are UTC+2 (Germany): 26-Mar-2018 – 27-Mar-2018, 10:00 PM to 06:00 AM (UTC+2) 27-Mar-2018 – 28-Mar-2018, 10:00 PM to 06:00 AM (UTC+2) 28-Mar-2018 – 29-Mar-2018, 10:00 PM to 06:00 AM (UTC+2) Version 1.0.0.7 Insights We are currently working hard on CS2D version 1.0.0.7 which will hopefully be released next week / within this month.
